Clark (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Clark did not return to Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears after suffering an ankle injury in the second half, finishing with one assisted tackle while playing 34 defensive snaps. However, Clark's absence from Wednesday's practice report indicates that the 2016 first-rounder will play in Sunday's contest against the Packers, who traded him to the Cowboys along with two first-round picks in exchange for Micah Parsons in late August.

Palmer (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Palmer sat out the latter two of the Saints' three practices last week before spending Sunday's game at Seattle on the sideline, so his participation Wednesday was a step in the right direction. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, there's a good chance he'd be able to make his 2025 debut at Buffalo.

Buckner did not practice Wednesday due to a back injury.

Buckner previously managed a back issue in late August that caused him to miss multiple practices, though it's unclear if his current injury is related. The veteran defensive lineman logged a season-low 51 percent of Indianapolis' defensive snaps Week 3 versus Tennessee, but it's not certain that his back was the reason for the reduced snap share. Regardless, Buckner will likely need to practice in some capacity this week in order to suit up against the Rams on Sunday.

Bland (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

A foot injury has prevented Bland from playing in the Cowboys' last two games, but Todd Archer of ESPN.com relayed Tuesday that the 2022 fifth-rounder is trending toward a Week 4 return against the Packers. Bland will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full practice participant heading into Sunday's tilt.

Bridges (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The rookie seventh-rounder likely picked up the injury during the Cowboys' 31-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Dallas' Week 4 home clash against Green Bay. Bridges' availability would be crucial for the Cowboys if Trevon Diggs (knee) is unable to play Sunday, as the former would likely start opposite Kaiir Elam at outside corner.

Vele (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Vele was unable to play in Week 3 due to a nagging hip issue, and now his status for Week 4 is up in the air. If he's able to upgrade to full participation Thursday or Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Diggs (shoulder/knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Diggs was limited to 39 defensive snaps after suffering a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's 31-14 loss to the Bears. He was unable to practice Wednesday, and he'll have two more opportunities to participate in at least a limited capacity heading into Sunday night's game against the Packers. Rookie seventh-rounder Trikweze Bridges (knee) would be -- if healthy -- the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Kaiir Elam if Diggs is not cleared to play.

Terrell (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Terrell suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota and didn't practice at all last week before missing this past Sunday's matchup versus Carolina. Coach Raheem Morris said last week that Terrell is considered "week-to-week," so he's iffy, at best, for this coming Sunday's game against Washington. If he's unable to play again, Dee Alford would likely get another start at cornerback.

Fulton (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Fulton did not practice last week before sitting out against the Giants with an ankle injury, but it now appears he could be on track to return to game action soon. He'll probably need to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Muhammad (knee) was considered a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Muhammad popped up on Wednesday's estimated injury report with an apparent knee injury, which he may have suffered in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens. The defensive lineman registered four total tackles (three solo), including 2.5 sacks, in the contest, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Browns.
